Teeter Totter


hearts in windows, flowers on tables
still blooming to those who mother,
and grandmother with gratitude and love,
wind on the backs, of the littles who know
how to maintain distance connection
without contradiction

my sister in law graduated yesterday,
photos sent in time and space,
a grandson's graduation ceremony
will be on Wednesday, we will be able
to attend without eight hours of travel,
oh bitter joy

 "hope is the expectation of future joy"
the sign in the window on this day
of May showers drizzling down on me,
on our dog, on the freshly planted
seedlings smiling from their
squirrel turned soil.
